IDA Ireland Release: Can Ireland be the European Capital of Cloud Computing?

With frequent jobs announcements in the tech arena, Ireland is capturing more than its fair share of global cloud investments. John Kennedy talks to IDA Ireland’s head of ICT Pat Howlin. Aside from the weather, Ireland has plenty of reasons for believing it is the home of the cloud - cloud computing that is. The country has been steadily growing an ecosystem of major cloud computing brands - from both existing multinationals based in Ireland since the 1980s and 1990s, and new start-ups emerging from Silicon Valley.
